What would happen if Earth stopped spinning for just one second?

Everything on the surface would keep moving at sixteen hundred kilometers per hour.

The atmosphere would turn into a devastating supersonic wind, flattening everything in its path.

Oceans would surge inland like tsunamis hundreds of meters high, swallowing entire coastlines.

The kinetic energy release would rival millions of nuclear bombs going off at once.

But here's the good news: the laws of physics make this physically impossible. Earth's rotation is far too stable to stop suddenly.
